Core Technical Issues • Federated pool of VMM – Re-use grid technologies to federate – Integrate ACL to VMM with VO model • Centrally provided VM Images – Policy around VMI accreditation underway – Stratus. Lab has a VMI meta-data repository • Engagement with user community – Mechanism to engage with new users 06/01/2022 EGI-In. SPIRE RI-261323 EGI Roadmap - September 2011 7 www. egi. eu

Commercial Cloud Use? • EGI: Focused on the needs of researchers – Our stakeholders provide research computing – Use a range of resources to deliver this goal • Commercial Clouds: Profit focused – Do core things really well & at low cost – But can meet the needs of some workloads How to make the best of both worlds? 06/01/2022 EGI-In. SPIRE RI-261323 EGI Roadmap - September 2011 8 www. egi. eu

A Federated EGI Cloud • No ‘big-bang’ migration – Gradual change transparent to the end-user • Clearly identifies the role of the expert – Allows experts to deploy & configure services – Experts already residing in the NGIs and VRCs • Increases the flexibility of the infrastructure – Meet the different needs of current users – Increases accessibility for other communities 06/01/2022 EGI-In. SPIRE RI-261323 EGI Roadmap - September 2011 9 www. egi. eu

The long term goal • An integrated service for all researchers – Any resources: commercial, academic, … – Transparent access: environment portability – Data Oriented: shift computation to the data • Federation through grid technologies – Grid crosses administrative & trust boundaries – Federated Cloud Grid of virtualised resources 06/01/2022 EGI-In. SPIRE RI-261323 EGI Roadmap - September 2011 10 www. egi. eu

Next Steps • Identification of 6 simple use cases – Issues around federation – Issues around integration into EGI • Build a prototype federated cloud – Define a blueprint to help others – Provide feedback to technology providers – Attract new users to EGI • Report back through EGI blog • Managed by the TCB 06/01/2022 EGI-In.
